It’s amazing to watch. Hopefully you’re all aware that Elon Musk purchased Twitter. Well, now it’s time for the Blue Check people to start flipping out. And right on cue, here they go. Suddenly everyone in the ‘verified’ club is extremely worried about a billionaire owning a giant platform. The same Blue Check crowd that embraced Jeff Bezos when he bought the Washington Post. It’s hilarious to watch. The hysteria. The worry. The gnashing of teeth. What has them so worried? Are they afraid that they can’t win a free and open debate? Yup. That’s a big part of it. For the Blue Checks? I think it’s 99% of the concern.

However, we at the loftus party still think there are bigger fish to fry. The algorithm. We’re very eager to have someone like Elon Musk look under the hood of Twitter and see how it all works. Let’s make the mysterious algorithm public. There’s tons we want to know. What trends and why? How have they been manipulating public discourse? Litle things like that. Then I want to know about all the other platforms. Facebook, YouTube, Google etc. In a nutshell, we want to know who’s been lying to us. Let’s figure that out. That seems important. But for right now? We’ll enjoy the moment and watch some Blue Checks flipping out about Twitters new head honcho.
